Woodys Crab House in Northeast MD has the shells on the floor

In Palo Alto (CA) it’s Antonio’s Nut House on California Street.

Texas Roadhouse?

Yep! The Texas Roadhouse here puts a big galvanized bucket of peanuts on every table. Shells all over the floor.

My first real job (late 70’s), I was a techie for a company that did computer systems for credit-unions. There was a client in Boston - the Boston Telephone Workers C.U. that I had to be on site with for some reason or another, and the sales-guy came with us. Of course, that meant entertaining the client with dinner and drinks. The client offices were in an old bank building on Milk St., and a few blocks’ walk from there was a place near the old Boston Garden called Betty’s Rolls Royce. I remember the steaks, the Guinness on tap, and the peanuts on the floor. YUM times 3!!!

Visited Jacks or Better many times as a kid. My Dad loved it.

Antonio's Nut House in Palo Alto, CA. Yes, it really is true. Stuffy, hip, urbane Palo Alto really has a Nut House dive bar!

There was a place in VA I used to go to called Lone Star Steakhouse that had the shells on the floor. LOVED that place.

‘Jacks or Better’ in the St. Louis area used to have free bowls of peanuts and you threw the shells on the floor.”

Jacks or Better was the sponsor of my son’s junior high YMCA football team in Overland Park, Kansas, during the middle 1970’s. We played every Saturday then all the parents would head over there to drink beer and the kids ate a ton of peanuts. Best part was throwing the shells on the floor. They had the best cheese dogs and hamburgers in the world. Had forgotten all about this place - thanks for the reminder.

We also had a place on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City called the Levee. Peanuts and bourbon and water was the meal of choice for many a dinner after working all day on the Plaza.

"So I ended up mostly buying all the music again"... yeah, the first Music I bought was on a 45, then LPs. then 4 tracks [yeah 4 tracks] then 8 tracks, then when cassettes came out I got rid of the 8 tracks and went cassette and almost bought some super cassette thing [digital?] but CDs came out....now I'm trying flash drives...but the format on players is kinda hard to use, indexing wise.....

"Where is that place that they have the peanuts on the floor?"

That would be any one of hundreds of Irish pubs. Ask a member of any rugby club, and they'll direct you to such a place.

I believe Colton’s Steakhouse has peanuts.

By the way, do you know how many grooves there are on a vinyl LP? There’s one. It starts at the beginning and goes all the way to the end.

Except the Kansas City Blues. Don’t ask them. They’re too clean cut. But ask any member of one of the other rugby clubs. They might even accompany you to the Irish pub (with peanut hulls all over the floor...and tables), if it’s the night of a rugby match. You might even get to witness an initiation (nudity), human bowling (nudity) or other interesting spectacles (nudity).

Roadhouse Grill.

There are 2. One on each side.

Gave all my vinyl to the vets. Couldn’t even sell mint elvis never-played records in box. Needed the space in the closet.

Difficult to give up the reel-to-reel tapes though. Have recordings of my Mom when she was 20, their wedding, Dad’s band from the 50s etc.

Lone Star did that about 20 years ago.
